Abstract

In the 21st century, people are connecting with technology, and most of the people are spending time in social networks for sharing information. For the most part, spending time on social media is linked with an increased risk of loneliness and depression. Negative effects of social media and social network are affecting the person's mental, emotional, and physical health. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 8,000,000 people are dying due to suicide every year, and especially, every 40 seconds teenagers are dying. Generally, most of the teenagers are emotionally imbalanced; most of the suicide is committed on high depression. Depression is the foremost cause of emotional and mental illness. Emotional health is a state of emotional wellbeing, and it's a hidden and invisible factor as well as a factor for good mental health; mental health is a deep-seated problem for most humans. With this background, this chapter discusses the emotional and mental health with respect to technological issues.
